Arabis cypria is a flowering plant in the family Brassicaceae, endemic to mountainous areas of northern Cyprus.

Arabis cypria is a tufted perennial to 25 cm, the basal leaves softly hairy, in dense rosettes, spoon-shaped with wavy or bluntly toothed edges; flowering stems (alongside leafy shoots) carry a few smaller leaves and a lengthening raceme of white-to-pink flowers 12 mm across. Pods straight or curved, 2–4 cm long, often all spreading in one direction. Flowers from Mars to April.

On shady limestone rocks at high altitudes.
